Known as "The American Millet," Horatio Walker was raised in Ile d'Orleans in Quebec and painted the local French-Canadian farmers with a Barbizonesque realism. After working in a photographic studio in Toronto, Walker established his own painting studio in New York in 1878. The artist would spend winters in the city between summers back in Quebec. Walker was a member of the National Academy and garnered a gold medal at Chicago's World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. His work is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and National Gallery of Canada, among several other institutions.
